Phononic Devices is building thermoelectric modules that use electricity to provide cooling power. Such modules essentially replace the flow of refrigerants through vapor compression cooling systems with the flow of electrons through a chip. Solid-state cooling would eliminate a system's moving parts and its refrigerants, which are usually potent greenhouse gases. And with the … [Read more...]
Thermoelectric Modules for Charge-Coupled Devices
Laird Technologies, Inc.’s application note, “Thermoelectric Modules for Charge-Coupled Devices,” describes the reason Thermoelectric Modules (TEMs) are the only effective thermal management solution for Charge-Coupled Devices (CCDs) used in astronomy, night vision, high-speed, medical, and quality control camera applications. TEMs comply with the excessively tight space … [Read more...]
Enhanced Cascade Series Thermoelectric Assemblies
Laird Technologies, Inc. released its enhanced Cascade Series Thermoelectric Assemblies (TEAs), custom-designed cooling assemblies that use multistage Thermoelectric Modules (TEMs) to achieve a high temperature differential from ambient. This product series can produce up to a 40% higher cooling capacity at cold temperatures, surpassing standard product offerings with similar … [Read more...]
